I bought this camera after seeing an offer at my local Dixons store and was persuaded by the salesman to go for this one after Casio getting constantly good reviews about there products.
This camera offers 6.0Megapixel photos with video recording with audio, it has a large 2.0" inch colour screen, has an anti-shake function and takes SD memory cards.
The picture quality from the camera is absolutely fantastic, the pictures are sharp and precise and with 3x optical zoom enables you to get that slight bit closer when taking photographs. The video recording function is also very useful as this records very good quality which is suprising as its a camera and not really a video camera! When buying this camera you will need to have a minimum of 512mb SD card as the photos and videos do take up a lot of memory but with the prices of SD cards coming down all the time, this won't cause you to break the bank.
The camera is very well laid out with all buttons located in ideal places that are easy to reach and use. The cameras interface is very simple and switching from taking pictures to viewing them is just a push of the relevant button above the screen. This camera is a neat and compact design and most of the time you won't realise you have it in your pocket! The software provided works on Windows and Mac so all computers are catered for.
Overall this camera may only be a mid-range offering but it certainly is great value for money.
